Grub Customizer is a graphical interface to configure the grub2/burg settings with focus on the individual list order -- without losing the dynamical behavior of grub.

The goal of this project is to create a complete and intuitive graphical grub2/burg configuration interface. The main feature is the boot entry list configuration -- but not simply by modified the grub.cfg: to keep the dynamical configuration, this application will only edit the script order and generate proxies (script output filter), if required.Install Grub Customizer in ubuntu

Hello, and firstly thanks for making this app. I installed it under Kubuntu 10.10 64bit. It runs, but doesn’t honour the background image (1280×1024 .jpg)or the custom resolution (1280x1024x24) I set. I just get a black background at full resolution (1920×1200). Any ideas why? Thanks

ok, I have to change my statement. It seems to be some more work I thought… so every patch is welcome. The version detection I wrote about, could be added afterwards. Look at the bug I linked in my previous post. There’s a list of what’s to do.

hi daniel
thanks for this. it worked for me. just a question, is there a way to get icons on the interface instead of command lines. i tried burg but it didn’t work. just wondering if i can do it using the grub customiser.
cheers

Hi.Thanks for your great work.I was successfully able to use grub-customizer the day i installed it.Afterwards i am unable.I always get this same message ‘grub-mkconfig couldn’t be executed successfully.You must run this root!
I have sought help from other members who gave me the following commands:
gksu grub-customizer (this gives the message above)
sudo grub-mkconfig (gives the message’/etc/default/grub: 37: splash: not found’)
please help

Hi. I need your help. I’m a Brazilian. I’m a novice in Linux. I only used Windows, just.
I install the Ubuntu 10.04 in my notebook. I have Windows 7 installed in this.
So, I wish to customize my GRUB, but, when I will install the GRUB (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer), are happening some errors:
-says that I need have a “menu” (that I don’t know what is this).
-Some packages could not be installed.
-you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution.
-Broken packages.
In resume: the GRUB-CUSTOMIZER don’t was installed, I can not used it for customize my choose of SO.

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo’
GRUB_GFXMODE=”1280x1024x16″
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=”keep”

I don’t know if you understood correctly: Grub Customizer uses “hwinfo –framebuffer” internally. This isn’t a magic command which allows you to use more resolutions afterwards. It only finds out the resolutions, which are available on startup.

I don’t think your problem is related to Grub Customizer. When clicking save it just saves your changes to /etc/default/grub as well as (if the list configuration has been modified) /etc/grub.d and does a simple “update-grub”.

I run Xubuntu 12.04 (64bit) along with win7. In Grub customiser, I unchecked some OS entries intending to avoid previous entries. Now I get only the win7 entry and no Xubuntu. I am trying to find a way to reinstall grub2 instead of reinstalling Subuntu itself. This had happened to me earlier also regarding some glfx entries. PLEASE include some warning if someone like me unchecks all the Linux entries that leaves windows alone in the list. Thank You.

Thank you very much. Your instructions worked like a charm and saved me from reinstallation or other laborious solutions! I am posting this from
Xubuntu only.
However may I make two humble suggestions?
1. Do not allow a user to uncheck all linux versions, at least one version should be retained in the selection.
2. A preview may be shown (if possible) of the boot menu selected, so that the user can have a chance to avoid making such foolish mistakes.
Thank you once again.

Eventhough the system booted without any problem yesterday, today after selecting linux in the grub menu, error’command gfxmode not found… press any key to continue’ appears and the booting continues after 5 seconds. If I select win7 there is no problem.

I’m using win 7luxury alongside with ultimate edition 3.8 and anytime i try to configure bootmenu to graphic bootmenu and open grub customizer the message i get is “burg found! do you want to configure BURG instead of grub2?” What I should do? please hope you can help me out. thank
